Just to reiterate, between the lies, darned lies, and statistics being told by everyone else, I've got a legitimate cowboy in Raylan Givens who will, without pause, shoot you in the face.


As much as I love Justified and think Raylan is a bad ass, he gets his butt handed to him an awful lot.  Would a true tough guy let Dewey beat the heck out of him?

When did that happen?

StartOrien, how do you respond to accusations that my selection of Bill Murray pretty much invalidates your selection of the Ghost of Patrick Swayze?

I selected Patrick Swayze in "Ghost," don't be insensitive, IP.

What role did Patrick Swayze play in 'Ghost'?

He played the role of the beefcake who had all right moves. Why do you ask?

Did his character in Ghost have any kind of spiritual affliction?

In my head I immediately answered, "What, like scientology?"

Patrick Swayze was a ghost in Ghost. Bill Murray was a Ghostbuster in Ghostbusters. Ghost-Swayze is donezo as completely as rapper Shwayze's career. You're Buzzin' if you think differently.

The 'Ghostbusters' were a team. When left to themselves, what happened to them? Varying levels of failure. And that's an undeniable truth. Venkman was probably the best example of this. How many ghosts did he bust by himself? How many babies were kidnapped on his account? If you drafted the entire Ghostbuster team, and really that was an obvious decision that most other GM's would've made in this situation, you'd have a point. Elsewise, you're using generalizations to make a point that I don't honestly believe you think is true.

Oh wow, you pretend, to my internet-face, that Peter Venkman never brought a ghost down on his own?

We see, in both movies, that when things 'heat up' and business becomes busy, they guys no longer go out as one single unit. Peter and Winston, Ray and Egon. They went out in pairs, and for routine, easy jobs, who is to say what happened.

If you will direct your attention to extended universe...

Sorry, Dickie.  Second season finale.

But, he's been beat up a lot of times.  Good with a gun, not so much with his fists.

Dickie Bennett I don't think you can really hold against him, he got hit from behind with a baseball bat.

The only beatdowns I really hold against Raylan is the second season beatdown he got from Coover the man-child (although after that, Coov took on a new respect from me), and the third season beatdown he let Boyd give him.

Venkman couldn't take a librarian down by himself, and you think he's going to take down a super hunk of a ghost? No, he'd have to take several months to train a new buster of ghosts and I'm not so sure there's anybody on your roster who is up for the physical and mental challenge of being a fighter of paranormal activity.

And even then...



I like our chances

Yeah right. Lets see how far Swayze's smoldering baby blues and hardly reliable psychic abilities get him against a proton pack and a trap.

Sorry but Swayze's awesome and meticulously teased hair and emo outbursts are no match for an unlicensed nuclear accelerator.

Are you having a laugh?

You're heavily discounting the short term memory of the Ghostbusters supporters. When the goings good everyone is happy, but the second things go awry - even after the slaying of the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man - the city of New York (mostly the liberals) will want the Ghostbusters shut down and locked back into an insane asylum. Powerless.

I'd LOVE to see the Ghostbusters fight back against the public outcry of an attempt at stopping the studliest of ghost studs. Good luck keeping the operation funded, pal. You'd be stuck in a freshly molded pottery vase of red tape.

You know who the Ghostbusters are?

They're the joke makin', ghost-bustin', minor god killin' versions of Il Duce from the Boondock Saints.

You know, the hit man locked away until they need him. Didn't seem to stop him.

So what you're suggesting is that after years of being locked in prison, Murray could just shake off the rust and immediately bust the hottest of the hot bodied ghosts, despite the fact that we have no actual proof that he's ever been able to stop a ghost single handily before? To me, that's like suggesting that Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart could come out of retirement and beat whoever the current WWE champion is. Seems far fetched.

Its pretty far fetched to believe that Swayze would be an effective ghost at all against anyone but the dude (and others related to the guy) who had him killed and went after his (then) smokin hot wife Demi Moore.

I didn't pick Ashton Kutcher, SO. Swayze's got no beef with me, and without his anger his ghost powers are limited to parlor tricks.

And you don't forget how to wear the pack, SO. You never forget. You'd know that, if you ever wore a prop-replica proton pack. You never forget.

You tell Patrick Swayze to have a good afterlife in the Containment Unit, and that I loved him in Road House, Point Break, and The Beast.

I'm 28. I'm an american. Of course I've worn the proton pack. I've thrown the trap. I've stomped the air pressured trigger to open it up.

Guaranteed Swayze in 'Ghost' could beat up the guy who draws with his left foot. Guaranteed.
doubt that -- took all his effort just to push a penny.
